What is CVE-2026-81826?
CVE-2026-81826 is a critical vulnerability in flowintel, published on 27 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Affected versions of Flowintel do not revoke existing authenticated sessions when a user’s password is changed.
This means that if an attacker already possesses a valid session—for example, from prior access or a stolen session token—the victim changing their password does not terminate that attacker’s access. The session remains usable until it expires naturally. The upstream commit describes this directly as:
“session keeps working until it expires.”
The fix detects password changes and explicitly invokes _invalidate_user_sessions(user.id) after the database update. This is applied in both edit_user_core() and admin_edit_user_core().
Version impacted >=3.3.0
